Framed through his therapy sessions, Xerxes Hughes "recounts" his escapades as an amateur superhero and the pitfalls that lead to his encounter with The Depression Demon--a physical manifestation of all his deep-seated insecurities.
Having made its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, this 15-minute animated action/drama is packed with bold visuals, impactful world-building, and themes ripe for conversation with the creative team.
